Sadly it appears DuckDuckGo has just quit supporting my Tiger running

I switched to DDG after StartPage (which I use on my more modern Macs)
quit supporting the system a year or so ago.
Google and Bing are reachable in TFF so I went with Bing, anybody but
The Evil Google!
Anybody have any other suggestions for a search engine on vintage Macs?
Preferably one that respects your privacy like StartPage and DDG.
I like using retrosearch.org. It parses a website's content and returns the
plain text. You do, however, also get the original URL with each search result,
so you decide if you like the text-only version or JavaScript hell.
And then there's the lovely wiby.org, which is a search engine for the
uncommerial / personal web. Think of the WWW in 1999. If you're looking for the
fanpage / enthusiast type of site that Google ditched years ago from its search
results, this is the place to go. Also takes user submissions and offers a nice
"surprise me" feature.
